This is a new tactic that most of the major (offmax, staples, officedepot) rebate companies started in the middle of last year . Just do nothing. As long as you got the confirmation (email) that they got your info and it is valid you'll get the check in another month or so. You only need to use...

I think the 601 also has a video combining circuit that will convert SVID to composite and vise-versa, that way you can hook everything to the tv with svideo cable and still watch your vcr that is only composite out. Course depending on your tv (like in my case) this isn't a big deal...

I love my shakers. They rock the house (er, couch)! I have a large room so it takes a lot to fill it, actually too much, the neighbors would kill me if I ever really cranked it up with powerful bass. I even have a decent yard and brick walls, but the family room/home theater is real open...

Did you put the EX flag to On mode? Also, try DTS NEO, it will use the back channel, as will All Stereo...

How about... www.digitaldeals.net

Yep, just tested it myself. I switched to the TW PBS demo loop (1080i) and sure enough, can switch from Normal to TW1, TW2, and TW3. Only Full is grayed out. It stretched the picture and it still looked great :)

Was the improvement when the screen was removed, or after the restack? I wanted to know how it looked with a restack. I'm either going to do a restack or just replace it with a non-reflective screen. In my case after removing the screen it was too wavy to use convergence to fix it, but I...

I also tried a restack with similar results. In my case I definatly had screen sag (it was very noticable) and the picture was crazy wavy. I just put the screen back in the front. I'm thinking of a restack instead. It just seemed too flimsy with just the lent/fres screens without the "mirror"...

When properly calibrated ALL TVs will look GREAT. If you see a difference in the store, it's because they don't know how to set them up. RPTV's aren't as simple as the old 4x3 TVs from 15 years ago. When looking, try not to focus on the picture, but more on what they offer in other features...

1) I have the 57H82 and find that the best picture for anything but HD comes from a coax connection using the TVs internal cable decoder. Only drawback is you lose the guide feature of the cable box - if you want that just connect the cable box to ANT2 and it'll be fine. For HD stuff you have to...

I'm pretty sure that is the model I have and for a direct-view it is very nice. From 8-9 feet away it looks pretty damn good from DVD with component. And I did notice a difference going from SVID to component on this TV, too. I actually won mine from a contest (about $1100 shipped from...

I don't think he meant that the manf warranty would be voided, but that if you have to get it repaired, that all the money spent on ISF tweaking would be wasted. Say you get a new gun, then everything is gonna be out of wack (such as grayscale) and require ANOTHER calibration. Wow, an extra...

I have this unit and after running it through 100 or so hours the past two weeks, can say it definitely gets better with age. So if you haven't already, give it a few weeks to "break in". Also, I noticed a big difference with the way it is hooked up. I have a digital cable box going into my...

What size room? The Panny 53" is a very good set...

I have the 57H82 and sit a little over 9 feet away. It looks great on DVD/HD but cable can be a little soft and jaggy with the TW1 stretch. As far as looking at a 57" TV from this distance, it's perfect. At first it seems BIG, but you get used to it quickly. The one thing you should consider is...

I've about settled on the Toshiba 57H82, and was checking it out again at (worst)buy today. They have a HDTV feed going into it (component vid) and were showing a LOTR 2 trailer. Every time there was a lot of motion on the screen, it would go crazy with motion artifacts and pixilization. Is this...

I really don't want to go over $2k, and was just about set on the 57h82 at onecall, but keep reading how the hdx is a better set. I was going to talk to Jason to see what he can do, but it says Retail only on the web site. Should I just get the h series and keep under my budget or should I fork...

I was thinking of going that route. I'm pretty sure I'll be able to find a plastics place around here (Orlando, Fl)... How does this fix compare to the screen you get with the HDX? Will it be better? Thanks for the input!

I'm thinking of getting the 57h82 and was wondering how hard it is to remove the screen shield. I've seen posts that it will help the quality and reduce glare, but don't recall any saying how it is removed....

Ok, thanks for the info. That's about what I figured. I was planning on getting some cables from ebay (quality ones that is) eventually anyway. I'm going to give Jason at onecall a ring in a few days to see what he can do. I'm gonna try to get the 57H82 for under $2k if possible...and perhaps...

How good are the AudioQuest YIQG 2m Component Video Cables Onecall is giving away with their HDTVs? Trying to figure out if I should plan to use them or perhaps haggle the price by rejecting them... http://ww1.onecall.com/PID_17918.htm

I know this is a repeating question, but I'm trying to get the most for my money and am stuck between the PT53WX42 and PT56WX42. My room is pretty large, and the windows will let in a fair amount of light. I have 2 chairs at about 8ft and the couch is at about 9ft. I'll be watching mostly DVD...

I just got the CP-72 and am thinking of taking the next step and getting the HDTV to go with it. Now the 50 million dollar question...which one? I was thinking of at least 56" widescreen. It will need a good streatch mode (my wife watches a good amount of 4x3 cable.) Since the 72 doesn't do...

Onecall has the panny on sale including shipping for $2??. They also have a $30 rebate posted, so final price would be under $200 shipped! I've been debating on which player to get for a while, and that made my mind up...

I currently have a Samsung m101 (yuck) that works OK but has some issues. I'm planning to upgrade soon, but currently have a JVC 36" standard view TV. I have component video, but no progressive scan. I would like to upgrade, but I'm still not sure I'm ready for HDTV yet (especially the 2 grand...

It depends on your receiver. Most of the ones I've seen will disable the regular outputs the second you push a headset jack in all the way (it figures if you want to use headsets you DON'T want to use all the big and noisy main speakers). This also means the sub out would be shut off too...

If you've ever sat in a massage chair, it's pretty much the same feeling (only set to match your subwoofer signals...); the couch will vibrate along with your sound. Michael Gdwn: I second Mike Gl's fears of induced noise. You could try them mounted to the frame, as long as you can remove...

Arron H: Generally speaking, yes, they only affect what they are connected to. If you happen to have wood floors and can get to the underside (or even mount them to the floor under the couch) it could send the feeling all over the room (and into all your furnature). But that is a little...

Brian Johnson: I strongly recommend the Interactor Bass shaker. I have 3 of them and it works GREAT! They come with an amp that is plenty powerful enough. All you do is unscrew the backpack and mount them to your couch (chair). It took me an hour with a little preplanning (while ebay guy...

I bought a cheap (approx $10 shipped) cable from ebay. I haven't noticed any audio dropouts or signal problems. I think its 3 ft (could be 6) long. Sound is very clear and powerful. If it makes a difference, I don't notice it. Perhaps if I did an A/B with an expensive cable or something...But...
